Requesting General Article Updates[edit]

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hello Wikipedia Editors,

My name is Christopher Singleton and I am an employee of Risa Heller Communications in New York, NY. I am retained by Transmission Developers Inc. to provide strategic communications and public relations services and am hereby disclosing my Conflict of Interest (COI) as relates to this article.

I am reaching out to suggest general factual edits to this page, to correct basic project information and statistics, as well as some inaccuracies with respect to the planned route and environmental impacts.

-Propose changing the origination of the transmission line in information section from 'Montreal' to 'Quebec,' as the generating stations and reservoirs supplying the hydropower are located outside of the Montreal area, mostly in the Northern portion of the province:

-Propose changing the construction start date in both first paragraph and information section from 2021 to 2022, as construction has not started yet. It is expected this year, following completion of a review by the New York State Public Service Commission: </ref>Ryan Dezember (18 February 2022). "Can Quebec's Dams Power New York City? Blackstone Is Betting $4.5 Billion on It". The Wall Street Journal. Retrieved 14 March 2022.</ref>

-Propose changing total length in information section as well as in 'Route' section from '335 miles' to '339 miles': </ref>Ryan Dezember (18 February 2022). "Can Quebec's Dams Power New York City? Blackstone Is Betting $4.5 Billion on It". The Wall Street Journal. Retrieved 14 March 2022.</ref>

-Propose correcting power rating in information section from '1,000 MW' to '1,250 MW': ^[1]

-Propose an edit to the first paragraph: it says that the CHPE is a “submarine power cable project”. The project is an underwater and underground power cable project: ^[2]

-Propose a change to the project cost: In the second paragraph, it says that the estimated cost for the section of the project located in New York is $2.2 billion USD. The estimated total cost is $4.5 billion USD: </ref>Ryan Dezember (18 February 2022). "Can Quebec's Dams Power New York City? Blackstone Is Betting $4.5 Billion on It". The Wall Street Journal. Retrieved 14 March 2022.</ref>

-Propose edit to the project section, which states that TDI’s board is chaired by “former Ontario Premier David Peterson”. TDI is currently chaired by Brian Kubeck: ^[3]

-Propose editing or removal of the 'Opposition to Project' section, as it is unsourced and mostly inaccurate. There is no blasting planned for Iona Island (which contains a bird sanctuary) to make way for the project. If the wiki community so requests, we can provide publicly filed maps that the New York State Public Service Commission has approved to this effect. Additionally, municipalities in Rockland County passed resolutions of support for the project once their concerns were addressed. We can also provide these to the editors.

-Propose a change under the Economics, emission levels, and reliability portion of the article to reflect that the project is expected to create 1,400 jobs directly and thousands of indirect and induced jobs: ^[4]

-Propose a change to the last paragraph of the Economics, emission levels, and reliability section, where it says that the CHPE project has applied for permits and that an EIS is being prepared. This is outdated, as the permits have been granted and the EIS has been completed. The permits are linked on the regulatory documents page of the project site, available here: ^[5]

Thank you very much in advance for your attention and assistance.

Done. The Opposition section has value because it contributes to the neutrality of the page, and so the final paragraph remains. If you would like revisions done to what remains, please submit a new request. Please also provide additional sourcing for the Opposition section that proves Rockland County's later support of the project. Thanks, Heartmusic678 (talk) 15:47, 15 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting General Article Updates[edit]

Hello Wikipedia Editors,

My name is Christopher Singleton and I am an employee of Risa Heller Communications in New York, NY. I am retained by Transmission Developers Inc. and Hydro-Quebec to provide strategic communications and public relations services and am hereby disclosing my Conflict of Interest (COI) as relates to this article.

I am reaching out to suggest general factual edits to this page, to correct basic project information and statistics.

-Propose adding Hydro-Québec to the 'partners' section under ownership information.

-Propose adding 'NY Independent System Operator (NYISO)' as an operator under ownership information.

-Propose amending to 2026 in 'expected' section under construction information. Project was not completed last year/is expected to be coming online in spring 2026.

-Propose updating power rating under 'technical information' section to 1,250 MW.

-In last line of first paragraph, propose updating to reflect that construction didbegin in 2022 and that it is expected to be operational in 2026, not 2025.

-Propose removing 'wind power' from second to last paragraph in intro section. Wind power, while proposed at one point, will not flow over the line.

-Propose removing the estimated construction cost for the NY portion of the line (sources an outdated document from 2010) and updating the overall project cost to $6 billion.

-Under 'Project' propose adding that construction began in 2022 following groundbreaking w/ Governor Kathy Hochul: https://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/46975/20221130/officials-celebrate-start-of-construction-on-champlain-hudson-power-express

-Under 'Settlement' propose adding "former" before 'president and CEO Donald Jessome' as Don Jessome stepped down in December. The new CEO is Justin Sauber.

-Under 'Economics, emission levels, and reliability,' propose replacing 7.64 terawatt-hours with 10.4.

-Under 'Hydro-Québec's position,' propose adding: 'The Hertel–New York interconnection line project aims to supply clean, renewable energy to New York City. In Québec, the project involves the construction of a line that will span 57.7 km (56.1 km underground and 1.6 km underwater). This 400-kV direct current line will connect Hertel substation in La Prairie to an interconnection point in the Rivière Richelieu at the Canada–United States border.

The project also includes installing a converter at Hertel substation. It will convert alternating current to direct current to supply the new interconnection.

The new line will connect to the line planned under the Champlain Hudson Power Express (CHPE) project, overseen by Transmission Developers Inc. (TDI) in the U.S. The CHPE project involves building an underground and underwater DC line between the Canada–U.S. border and New York City, a distance of roughly 545 km. In addition to receiving all required authorizations in the U.S., this project has been selected by the authorities of New York State to deliver hydropower to the heart of New York City.' https://www.hydroquebec.com/projects/hertel-new-york-interconnection/

-Propose also adding mention of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke being part owners of the line in Canada.

Thank you very much for your attention to this matter. Csingleton93 (talk) 18:07, 9 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
